Cali...ok!! Thanks, Lovely Anon!!
đź”´ (Angst/Sad)
California was 14-in-body and 11-years-a-State when he ran away from home to join the Civil War. He was the last State to leave, the last State personification to join the war itself.
He was still young when he thought his father died. When he, and the others, started to avoid their mother; they thought she’d hate them for it (she would never). His self-esteem plummets, mostly due to his own thoughts than any outside interference.
In the 20’s through the 80’s, he was an alcoholic who did any drug he got his hands on. New Jersey and New York ended up staging an intervention, and he’s been mostly sober- aside from the occasional, supervised drink- since the 90’s.
Figuring out his dad isn’t dead, and learning what the Civil War did to his body and his mom’s mind... makes him want to start drinking again.
🏡(Home)
Like other States, he has several homes scattered throughout the State, but his main home is a literal mansion. Literally enormous, way more space than one man needs.
But, he’s a Material Gurl 💅💅, so it makes sense.
Former Hollywood Star in the 50’s and 60’s who retired with favourable reputation and vanished off the face of the earth, basically.
He has a fat cat all famous people have, his name is Alfonso and he is the sweetest cat to ever exist. It’s actually Alfonso’s house and Cal is just the roommate. <3
Pic of Alfonso’s house: (not really but its what I envision)
🌑(Sleep)
Literally the opposite of Colorado. As a kid he could sleep anywhere, anytime, and hardly wake up from anything.
Now he has very specific rituals and conditions for him to be able to sleep. When those specific conditions aren’t met he doesn’t sleep that night, and thus ends up passing out at 3 p.m in the middle of the kitchen floor.
đź‘”(Clothes)
The black skinny jeeeeaaans. He’s got legs and he’s gonna show em off.
White shirt, it’s simply, easy, goes with everything.
Has a lot of jewelry, mostly gold and silver. Gold Necklace with a flat pendant, a poppy carved into it with the day he became a State enrgaved on the back. Silver chains and bracelets, another gold bracelet with the silhouette of a California Grizzly carved in. Ears most definitely pierced, at least three in each. Maybe an eyebrow piercing. A ring on his right middle finger, with beniliote embed, but like; a family crest type band with a big piece of beniliote instead of a crest.
So, I know the flannel is ✨there✨ (jk I love flannels) but listen-- listen!! A different type of flannel. Like, the same colors but- an Actual jacket. I don’t know how else to describe it so I will include a pic.
Being involved in feederism for as long as I have has given me a different, more skeptical perspective on diet culture and health care. I have had my mind changed on accessibility rights issues, I have deconstructed a lot of diet/ diet-based healthcare, and I have unlearned a lot of harmful misinformation about fatness.
But to be honest, the moment I realized it was all bologna was when my dad told me he couldn’t eat apples anymore.
My dad was an alcoholic for a long time. It got really bad after I left my home state for college. He started drinking a handle a night, going through Jack Daniels like it was water. About a year after I left, my sister found him passed out, near dead in the kitchen. His liver was actively shutting down and he had nearly drank himself into a coma.
He survived this. His girlfriend (who has always been a fad dieter and exercise fiend) started convincing him to “look out more for his health.”This, I think, was an attempt to save his ego. It’s difficult to tell the person you love that they have a substance abuse problem that is actively harming them. Instead, my dad agreed to start trying to get “healthy.”
About a year ago, as we were eating breakfast together, I offered him an apple slice.
“Oh I don’t eat apples anymore. Way too much sugar in them.”
And I think about this almost every day. This man was drinking a bottle of rum a night, and when it almost killed him his thought was oh I really gotta cut down on the apples. Diets and dieting have always smacked of bullshit to me, but hearing my dad tell me that actually he should be eating less fruit was insane. I think my entire conception of healthcare, weight, and diet collapsed right there.
